The Division 3 is officially in development, Ubisoft confirms, with development lead by the director of The Division 2, whose previous credits also include Watch Dogs, Splinter Cell, and Assassin’s Creed. Created by Massive Entertainment, the studio owned by Ubisoft which has created and maintained The Division series, Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 is now officially in production.
In a statement sent to PCGamesN, Ubisoft confirms that The Division 3 is now officially in development and will serve as a sequel to the multiplayer game The Division 2. The shooter is directed by Julian Gerighty, director of The Division 2 and a long-standing Ubisoft developer who has also worked on the Watch Dogs, Splinter Cell, Assassin’s Creed, and Ghost Recon series.
Gerighty will oversee the entire The Division brand, including development of The Division 3, The Division Heartlands, and mobile game The Division Resurgence. “There are only a few games that I can genuinely say blew me away the first time I saw them, and Tom Clancy’s The Division is one of them,” Gerighty says. “I was immediately hooked, like so many others who are part of our devoted player community.
“It’s a privilege and an honor to be able to continue to build incredible and unforgettable experiences in this amazing world with the most talented teams around the world, and I can’t wait for what’s next.”
No release date or story details have been given for The Division 3. Ubisoft is also developing several Assassin’s Creed games including Assassin’s Creed Mirage, AC Red, and the multiplayer-driven Assassin’s Creed Infinity.

Ubisoft have announced that their new shooter, XDefiant, is to be delayed with no new release date. The official X / Twitter feed posted the news today.
XDefiant is the upcoming free-to-play shooter from Ubisoft, which aims to recapture the classic arcade shooter-style game seen in shooters of yesteryear. However, since its announcement, it has had quite a turbulent development, and now it has been indefinitely delayed, raising the question of when players will see the game make its return and when we could expect to see a release date again.
Ubisoft revealed its «fast-paced firefights meets punk rock mosh pits» first-person shooter, Tom Clancy's XDefiant, in 2021. It's a free-to-play shooter that features factions from different Ubisoft properties, like Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs, The Division, and Far Cry. We went hands-on with XDefiant earlier this year and came away impressed with the shooter. Players enjoyed an open beta back in June, and the full game was set to launch in the summer, but now, developer Ubisoft San Francisco has delayed its preseason launch indefinitely.
Not long ago it was quietly announced that The Division 3 was in the works at Ubisoft. I don’t think many fans of the series were surprised, seeing as how The Division 2 has been rehashing old seasons as the wind down supporting it as a live service. The Division 3 will certainly be a welcome inclusion, but with two other The Division titles also on the horizon, the third iteration of the series will need to make some hefty changes, especially if it intends to compete with many of the other looter shooters that have risen in popularity.
Ubisoft has outed the existence of The Division 3 — the next game in its looter shooter series. The title is currently in early development, and that's pretty much all we've got to go on. Just to give you an idea of what 'early' means, the team at Massive Entertainment — the lead developer on both of the previous Division games — is now recruiting for the project. So yeah, it's early.
Yes, The Division 3 is happening, Ubisoft has confirmed in what is a contender for the most nonchalant game announcement of all time.
Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 is officially on the cards. Julian Gerighty, who worked on the previous games before becoming creative director on Star Wars Outlaws, will become executive producer for The Division brand once the sci-fi title is out.
Ubisoft has made another shakeup for one of its core franchises, as Julian Gerighty is now the executive producer for its Division franchise. After shipping Star Wars Outlaws (as its creative director), he's to oversee the "plethora of projects" for the Tom Clancy branded sub-franchise.
Ubisoft sure does love a sequel, and it's now confirmed — in just about as understated a fashion as is possible — that it's got another one in the works, this time in the form of The Division 3.
Ubisoft has confirmed that Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 is in the works, with Massive Entertainment leading development. The French publisher also announced it tapped Julian Gerighty as the new executive producer for The Division brand. He will dive into the new role once his work as creative director on Star Wars Outlaws is wrapped up.
In what could arguably be one of the most deflated ways to announce a new game in a series, Ubisoft has revealed that The Division 3 is coming thanks to a tweet announcing Julian Gerighty’s new role at the company. The tweet sees Ubisoft mention the game’s existence in a passing remark as they announce Gerighty’s new position as Executive Producer for the series, and it’s honestly about as unexciting as a reveal can get.
Ubisoft are planning to make Tom Clancy's The Division 3. The project was announced alongside news that Julian Gerighty, the current creative director of Star Wars Outlaws, would move across to be "executive producer for The Division brand" once that project is finished.
